Up too late...

So you see this morning we were meant to be up early... to go on a long bike ride along the voie verte... the reason being is that in this house near Calvisson we are much nearer the Voie Verte than when we are in Aubais... but the road back is much steeper.. and being at the end of the run... a darn site harder... I digress.

Anyway, we opened our eyes at 0845hrs - with a two year old this is unheard of... so it would mean by the time we'd eaten and taken the two furry monsters out... and got back from the bike ride, it would be too late, too hot and we'd just be cooked on the bikes... so we take the dogs to the oppidum instead... which was meant to be the easier option... (am I mad?)

Anyway, it was a lovely walk... very short according to the GPS, but nigh-on verticle... some fab views (sorry forgot the camera) and we disturbed a chap doing tai-chi (OK, one of the labs disturbed a chap doing tai-chi) in a tranquil spot in the middle of nowhere.

This afternoon I call around for a B&B in the Vaucluse (if they are not already full, they won't take someone for less than 3 nights in July!) I went through 7 B&B's before I found one... at Euro95 a night... very pretty though is it - owned by a decorator.

Then a power nap (45 mins) and dip in the pool.... Alicia running around naked finds it very funny to sit in a puddle and then print marks of her bottom everywhere on the dry tiles around the pool.

Wendy Johnson saved my partner and me a lot of time and money and prevented us from making mistakes or being taken for a ride when buying both our properties in France. To have a bilingual person on the spot who knows how to deal with French estate agents,notaries ,insurance companies, local authorities, public utilities and tradesmen, and who knows where to buy everything from a sink to a sofa-bed is absolutely invaluable.Clive & Rubanne, Montpellier.

Testimonial

We bought our house in Uzes four years ago and hired Wendy to act on all aspects of the purchase on our behalf. This service was a god send to us as we did not speak French and our knowledge of the local area and buying process was limited.As part of the service she researched our property to ensure we were not buying a property with either structural or planning issues. She handled all the negotiations with the French officials which we could never have done. But the pièce de résistance was she even found us our Guardien who is wonderful - This means we can sleep at night and never worry about the house. Without a shadow of a doubt, the service she offers is invaluable, because without her, I am sure we would not have found such a nice house and would have probably got stung through our own naivety in the bargain. Thank you Wendy.Patricia, Uzes

I think it's safe to say that I could never have purchased a house so easily without you -- from booking dozens of appointments with immobilier and particuliers to meeting an unusual request for an independent, expert inspection (a la Americaine). You did it all. And then you saved me from consuming that giant ice cream Sunday all alone! Now that's service....Sydney, Vaison la Romaine

I knew I wanted to buy an apartment in France but wasn't too sure where to start. The answer came in the form of Wendy. She had a number of properties lined up for me to view when I arrived for a visit and continued to work on my behalf after I left. It didn't take her long to find the right place and the purchase was concluded without delay. I couldn't have done it without her. From start to finish, Wendy was thorough, attentive - and always good fun to deal with.David Orr
